With the start of monsoon season in Dehradun tall claims made by the departments concerned are getting exposed on the roads every day.
The initial rains have resulted in the number of new potholes and waterlogging situations in various parts of the city. In order for the district traffic department to maintain smooth traffic and preventing accidents these potholes and waterlogging situations have emerged as major concerns.
Dehradun Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Nivedita Kukreti said, “These potholes and waterlogging situations have cumulative effect on the flow of traffic which then leads to traffic congestions. We have always been saying that traffic management is not police’s responsibility alone. Different aspects and different departments are involved.
